Physical Therapy

I went to my orthopedist for pain in my right hip and thigh. He gave me a list of physical therapy clinics that my insurance accepted and I chose one based on a convenient location. Physical therapy is new to me and I did not know what to expect. The therapist I was assigned to is late 20s and female. I am 70s and male.

On my first visit she had me do exercises and evaluated my abilities and pain areas. She said on my further visits that I needed to wear shorts rather than my long pants.

I have been to three sessions and she massages my entire leg including running her hands inside my short pants. I am sure that she has noticed my erections when she does this although it is not mentioned. Yesterday, she said that if I were nude from the waist down, that her therapy would be more effective. Her treatments are helping with my pain and soreness. So, for those more familiar with physical therapy, Is this normal and or reasonable or is she just playing with me? My insurance will pay for 10 visits.

I doubt that "nude from the waist down" is standard protocol for most physical therapy. OTOH, nudity is accepted for massage therapy, even though most massage therapists use significant draping to cover the genitals.

Try wearing briefs or a Speedo next time, and see what she says...

She is joking with you trucker there is no nudity in PT I have gone through PT quite a lot for back and leg problems I never had to take any clothes off. I just wore a pair of shorts so my movements wouldn't be limited. They also used electric stim for my back muscles and also massage of my back all I had to do was lift my shirt up a little to expose my lower back. All I can say is stick with PT is does work wonders. 😃

Well, even if she is just playing with you, if she requested nude, give her nude!

And if you're afraid to go for nude right away, try a jockstrap first & see what the reaction is.

If she said that to you, go for it. If she wasn't serious, she'll learn to be.

I loved physical therapy. It was like going to a gym with a social life, and a nice therapist to massage me & give me e-stim. Plus my leg got fully rehabilitated.

I had knee replacement back in June of 2011 and then Physical Therapy following. On the first appointment they had me get into a pair of shorts so the could see how my movements went as well as take some measurements. On all following appointments, (which were overseen by either a male of a female therapist) I went and was treated in my regular street clothes. At no time was I ever ,nude, nor did I see anyone else at the place nude. @Trucker I think your imagination is running wild and needs to be tamed down a bit.

I just had a total knee replacement last month. I have had physical therapy in two different places since then. I also had PT for a knee scope over 25 years ago. At no time was I ever without shorts, or sweatpants, or street slacks for any of my therapy sessions.

@Kid is correct. Stick with the PT. I am still going 3x / week.

^^^^ For Physical therapy, short pants -- yes, nude -- no.

Was she going to give you a happy ending?

Trucker - where is this girl at. I want to make an appointment.....

I have had physical therapy for various things over the years, at various providers. Most places seem to have private rooms or curtains for evaluations and e-stim as well as other procedures and a public gym room for exercising and stretching.

The most recent therapist I went too had one big room used for almost everything so all patients were able to see each other and everything going on. So no privacy. (there was one curtained off table).

Since I was there for my hip, on the first visit I was asked to change into the loose shorts they provided and after the first visit I was instructed to bring my own or use theirs.

The female therapist had no problem massaging my thigh and hip, even with her hand inside the shorts from the bottom /thigh and pushing and stretching the psoas muscles with her hand under the shorts AND underwear from the top (the side of the pubic/femoral area). I definitely stiffened up at times. I must admit that I would look forward to it. Interestingly, she definitely went into my underwear a little further on the last visit. I was disappointed to stop.

I had gastron massage on my gluteus media and or minima for hip pain. Pulled my pants down a little on the left side but not fully exposed. It either worked well or I just got over the hip pain. Not sensual at all but it felt good.

I did some physical therapy for an issue on my hip/upper thigh and one of the techniques they used to stretch me out was cupping. That was definitely an interesting experience, especially since they placed the cups pretty high up on my leg. Thankfully I while I did wear shorts to the appointments, they had to pull up the leg so high to do the cupping, I might as well have just been in briefs at that point (which I'm sure more than few folks got a glimpse of, lol.

I know that you can get a nude PT when having pelvic problems (mostly women)

For men this is anally, for women mostly vaginal.

Probably perfect for when you have a medfet

It's called "Pelvic Floor Therapy" I'm not sure how much draping there is but as you stated it can include vaginal or anal insertions as well as exercises.

Larry Nassar knew all about and performed a lot of pelvic floor therapy.

He is an evil man, and I'm guessing his patients didn't need the therapy for incontinence the other things is legitimately used for.

No, Really?

You're kidding, right?

I never heard that.

It sounds like Dr Nassar is being maligned.
